Families of curves and alterations
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 47 (1997) no. 2, pp. 599-621.

In this article it is shown that any family of curves can be altered into a semi-stable family. This implies that if S is an excellent scheme of dimension at most 2 and X is a separated integral scheme of finite type over S, then X can be altered into a regular scheme. This result is stronger then the results of [ Smoothness, semi-stability and alterations to appear in Publ. Math. IHES]. In addition we deal with situations where a finite group acts.

Dans l’article on prouve que toute famille de courbes peut être altérée en une famille semi-stable. Soit S un schéma excellent de dimension 0, 1 ou 2 et soit X un schéma séparé de type fini sur S. Alors le résultat implique qu’on peut altérer X en un schéma régulier. C’est un résultat plus fort que ceux de [Smoothness, semi-stability and alterations à paraître dans Publ. Math. IHES]. De plus, on considère des situations où un groupe fini agit, et on obtient des résultats analogues.
